It's been a while since I've done an instagram update, hasn't it?  Well, then let's get to it!

Top left. I die, seriously.  This console!  I found it at a local antique shop.  Would you believe that there is gold leafing peeking through the spots where the paint is chipping? Yes, seriously.  Utter perfection and a steal of a deal.

My current favourite scents.  Loving Poppy by Coach.

Stopped by Homesense the other day and couldn't leave behind this lovely vase.

Le sigh.  That poor gold mirror, still waiting to be hung.

Cinnamon rolls.  Need I say more? Mmmm

Ottoman in our entry.  More importantly, the fabric.  Thinking of buying some to make drapes for the kitchen (patio door) and the family room which is off of the kitchen.  Not open concept, but pretty darn close.  Thoughts? Opinions? I'm having one heck of a time picking fabric (speaking of which, I've added a new board on Pinterest called Fabric Crush).  I want something pretty, something with "wow factor" nothing too feminine.  Help!

Tomorrow I will be talking about my recent decision to take a good look at my spending habits (yes, right after I post pictures of things I recently purchased, I know, I know).  Be sure to check it out!

Cheers,

Cold Fighting Necessities.

If you're following along on twitter, then you know that I've been fighting a cold, maybe even the flu for the better part of the week.  I can usually do a pretty good job of handling colds, but seriously, this one is bringing me to my knees!  Like whimpering baby bad.  I know, shameful.

I even sent my mum a text asking if she could knit me a cozy cardigan, because I was craving one so badly (note to self, purchase a cozy knitted cardigan asap...and note to self, see below).  To cuddle up in a cozy sweater.....sigh. I know, right?!

Please forgive the non-imaginative use of photoshop...I tried, but alas, my brain isn't allowing me to use too many cells today.

As you can probably tell from the listed items above, this cold has left me wanting to do no more than sit on the couch with all of the above watching some type of terrible tv marathon.  Guilty pleasure indeed.

Oh, I also have to say that I'm totally jealous of every single one of you who is at Alt Summit.  I want to be there, although I suppose I wouldn't have been able to go since I'm sick.  Oh, who am I kidding.  No cold could have held me back from that fabulosity!  I'm thinking of taking advantage of one or two of their free online courses if there is still space.

Cheers,
